It was April 1 2007 I decided I was no longer gonna be a fool about my obesity and I started my weight loss journey and it was 2 years today I told my self I can do this.I need to do this It was the pep talk of the life time, I was abusing my body being obese and it was catching up with me, I seemed to fail at everything in my life  I gave up soda my demend and probally accounted for 100 lbs alone of my obesity. I was 295 at my highest weight and by some mircle was able to keep off 30 lbs becoming a Emt and the physcial demands kept the 30 lbs off but I was stuck ay 263 lbs seems for years. I had to face he demands why I got here and to this point. As a child I was tall thin and normal looking but always told I  was big (in my head I was thinking it meant fat) never thought I was very pretty. Sad as a child I felt because I was hispanic I was led to believe we were not pretty as the little caucasian girls. I know today a different world but I am 50 need I say more. Being a burnett u were not looked  upon as pretty, I never bought into notion beauty is inside, I am talking about outside package inside is a total situation. As you age and see your youth slip away and when u wake up to mirror and see new lines life has handed you. The fool is looking back at you,
What made me wake up I needed to do something. Working as a EMT I had my eyes open to world or morbid obesity and the effects of what it does to your body. I saw people my age and I was thinking damn life was hard on you, I was called to home of a man that was 500 lbs and his poor sweet wife could no longer care for him and we had to move him and oh my  that was a eye opener he had maggots in his folds of fat  and food. I was horified at then it hit me, This is u in 10 years the rate I am goingm
April fools day was day I said enough is enough I am gonna do this.
I am not gonna be morbid obese,
Today I am 162 and wear size 10 pants and wear size medium petite tops My goal is to wear size 8 jeans but for now I ma happy to be a 10 something I never thought I could ever see size 10, I know this may seem a huge size to some and still quilify as a plus size model size but I can no longer shop in plus size dept. I am still amazed when people call me tiny but really I am just avg plan jane. I am not at goal and I am not sure what goal will be but I hope 15 lbs will get me to 140 something.I am slowly healing and accepting the new me, Thanks everyone for being my support. I remember days I want to give up and I never thought I would ever see below 200, I hope to see 150 some day, I am very small boned so being 162 is still pretty hefty, I doubt i will ever see size 4  but I can maybe see size 8 and to me that is gonna be just fine,,
